63. According to Sykes, Keely also requested a U.S. patent in 1876, but it was denied. The reason was that officials of me patent bureau had asked Keely to build a working device, but Keely refused to do so. 'Up to recently me specifications and drawings were on file with the U.S. patent office.' In: Egerton Sykes, The Keely Mystery, 2nd revised edition, Markham House, 1972, pages 3-4. However, Keely never applied for a patent in 1876. The source for Sykes' yarn probably was a letter of a certain Edward N. Dickerson dated November 30, 1888, which he wrote to The Tribune, and which involved Keely's patent application in 1872: '..Keely applied for a patent before 1876, but did not assign to the purchasers their shares; whereupon some of mem protested against the issue of me patent unless their shares were recognized in the grant. The Patent Office replied to these protests that it could not recognize the rights claimed unless there was a written assignment filed in the office, which the claimants did not have. The Commissioner, however, called upon Keely to furnish a 'working model' of his invention, which, of course, he could not do, and his application was rejected. The specification and drawings of mis apparatus show a very silly form of the common perpetual motion machine, of which there are thousands. It was open to the public for some years, when, under a new rule of the office, it, along with all other rejected applications, was withdrawn from inspection; but it is in the office, together with the protests of those who had paid Keely for a share in it. I examined it years ago.' In: Clara Bloomfield-Moore, Keely and His Discoveries, Aerial Navigation, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., 1893, pages 108-109. Another variant has it mat the rights to his invention, the Hydro-Pneumatic-Pulsating-Vacuo-Engine, were assigned to five individuals on February 24, 1872. This partnership then evolved into the Keely Motor Company. In: Robert Schadewald, 'The Perpetual Quest,' The Fringes of Reason, a Whole Earth Catalogue, 1989, page 123.
64. Egerton Sykes, The Keely Mystery, 2nd revised ed., Markham House, 1972, page 2. Very likely Sykes confused me date of the demand by the patent office for a working model, made November 26 the year before.

66. 'Keely Claims at Last to Have Harnessed a New Force,' The Times, March 6, 1898. Keely's workshop was also described as a 'stable or stable-like structure' in 'Men and Things,' The Evening Bulletin, November 21, 1898. Also as 'a queer-looking workshop.' In: Megargee, 'Seen and Heard in Many Places,' The Times, November 22, 1898. The workshop apparendy was built originally for the Keely Motor Company, was publicly sold around 1886 and bought by a certain Daniel Dorey, who then rented it to Keely; the sale was made 'about the time that Keely and the motor people were not getting along harmoniously, and when Mrs. Moore commenced supplying Keely with funds for his experiments...' In: Public Ledger and Daily Transcript, January 9, 1899.
67. Although there is some confusion as to the year in which Collier met Keely, in The Times, November 19, 1898 edition, Collier is quoted as saying about Keely: 'I have known him since 1872.,' and in The Times, November 27, 1898, it is written that Collier was 'the firm friend and believer in Keely, the inventor, from 1870 until the latter's death...' Yet in the sources of note 53, it is written on bom occasions that before the exhibition on November 10, 1874, Collier had never met Keely.
